Note the drape of the pants…..I know drape is forgotten in this era of drainpipe trousers and flood pants but it's one of the things that distinguishes a great pair of trousers. The teaming of grey flannel with the suede shoes is another classic too.

I do think umbrellas make excellant accessaries. But for me its the boots this time…He looks like he might have rocked this ensemble many times but the boots make it so fresh…He looks ageless…Yep thats my goal!!!

I find it annoying when individuals refer to older people as "adorable," as it cannot help but come off as somewhat infantilizing. He is a wonderfully dressed and distinguished man, please proffer the commensurate respect.

True, it's a beautiful suit and he looks dashing. But it makes me a bit sad to think that age makes him shrink from the collar. Well, I guess that's life for all of us – either we become too big for our clothes or too small…

The trousers and shoes are great! Unfortunately I can't look past the coat though. The collar stands off his neck by a MILE and the sleeves are too long – no cuff showing. A suit that beautiful in its own right deserves a trip to the tailor for a few tweaks…

i would love to see a book of men and women in his age group who still appreciate style. His outfit and a man you posted over the summer (sitting on a lawn chair with a cardigan and florsheim wingtips) they have something. There seems to be a difference in economics but that's not the matter, they have attention to detail without pushing opinion. It's very nice to see the creative spirit and vanity still kicking in those who are older. it's a benchmark and a reminder that good things take practice and not just money and that style and fashion are not only for us while in our 20s.

We used to have an old gentleman in Chapel Hill, NC who would come into town and sit on a bench on Franklin St. wearing the most awesome iridescent suits, always with hat and cane. He'd hang out several hours looking fine, and then get a ride back home. I once saw him in an in-flight magazine.

The fit of the suit is not perfect – or rather, it is not perfectly modern. And yet, he he wears it very well.

This suit (and the gentleman, for that matter) is a classic. It could have been fitted twenty years ago. What is so appealing here is that everything is of the highest quality; none of that made-in-china rubbish. The suit was made to last, and lasted it has.
